Once you this recipe, you will honestly wonder how you ever lived with an air fryer. 

The first air fryer originated from the Netherlands in 2010.

If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. Because they are more affordable now than ever.

Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.

You can use side ribs, baby back or spare ribs for this recipe too. So whatever you have here on hand will work for this recipe. 

HOW LONG TO AIR FRY PORK RIBS

I use the T-Fal air fryer and put them on for 40 minutes, please check with your air fryers cooking instructions. 

However, to convert an oven-cooked recipe to an air-fryer one, the general rule of thumb is to reduce the suggested temperature by 25°F or 3.889 C and then cut the cook time by about 20%

Of course you can actually heat up the grill outside and bbq some RIBS or bake them in the oven. But why would you now that you have an air fryer. It replaces all those gadgets and the clean up is easy.

CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER?

YES! 

I currently have and use the T-fal ActiFry Fryer

Also on occasion I will use my Gotham Steel Fryer as well. *Goes direct in the oven.

Both tools work well for this recipe! Links to purchase in the recipe card. 

HOW TO AIR FRY PORK RIBS

Honestly, it is super easy.

And having tried numerous ways to air fry ribs myself. I found the best option to be the one that I’m about to share with you today. 

I’m telling you, it is simple and saves a lot of time and hassle that some other recipes may call for. 

“Such as cooking them first in tinfoil, I find that this method really is not necessary”.

  • The method that I prefer, is to remove the skin from the ribs as much as possible with a knife.
  • This is done by sliding a knife under the membrane and over the bone enough to loosen the skin so you then can pull it away. It is not the easiest thing to do, so do your best. 

  • Then you will simply cut the ribs into two piece sections and coat with all your seasonings. Before placing in the air fryer, to cook for 40 minutes till golden brown.

It is really that simple guys.

WHAT TEMP TO AIR FRY PORK RIBS 

If your doing this in the oven on the Gotham Steel Crisper? 400f will do the trick!

If your doing this in most of those tabletop air fryers than follow the instruction on your fryer as some are smaller than others. 

My fryer goes by minutes and so I can cook these ribs for 40 minutes and they will be done.

Duck Rotisserie

This Duck Rotisserie is absolutely delicious and tastes just like the oh so popular Peking duck that you can order in the Chinese restaurants. chinese-rotisserie-duck-recipe

You can also make a delicious Duck Pho Soup out of it if you desire.

Without all of the hassle of though. I will explain later in this post more about the traditional way that peking duck is made. And how this duck is slightly made the same but in a fraction of the time!

And be sure to serve this along side some Chinese Plum Sauce.

Then you’re sure to be in for treat tonight with this recipe!

HOW TO ROAST DUCK IN THE OVEN

Yes, you can also cook this duck in the oven. By placing it on a lifted baking pan, that has a grill. 

So that the duck is slightly lifted off of the pan. Which allows for the fat to drip away and crisp up the skin!

CAN YOU ROTISSERIE DUCK

Yes, that is what this recipe is for 🙂 You most definitely can rotisserie a duck.

My rotisserie can only cook a duck that is under 4 lbs though as it is a small machine. I used the 

An air fryer machine actually! However if you have an outdoor rotisserie for your BBQ, you can do a much larger one than mine.

A 4 lbs duck can feed four people though, with sides of course. 

HOW LONG TO ROTISSERIE DUCK

You want the internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh to be 180*F. However, slow and a low heat is best. To prevent over cooking. I like to cook this duck at 325 f for 60 minutes!

The Rotisserie I used is the CHEFMAN 6.3 Quart Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie 

HOW TO ROTISSERIE DUCK

It is done the exact same way you would rotisserie a chicken! 

  • For this recipe though, prior to placing the duck on a spit to be cooked on the rotisserie, you will want to create the marinade. 
  • Then take the duck and slice it lengthwise across the skin and criss cross the other way. This allows the marinade to marinate the whole duck. 
  • Then place the duck in the marinade bowl and marinate for 24 hours. Flipping over half way through to allow it to fully marinate. 
  • Before cooking, allow it to rest on the counter for 30 minutes prior to spitting.
  • Then cook it at a low and slow cooking time for 60 mins, which is key to having the perfect chinese duck.
  • Basting every 20 minutes, during the cooking process is highly recommend. 
  • As it enables it to crisp up perfectly on the outside and remain juicy and tender on the inside.

HOW TO MAKE CHINESE DUCK

Equipment

  • Air Fryer with Rotisserie attachment or Grill and BBQ
  • Butcher’s twine
  • Drip pan (for the grill)

Cavity

  • 2 slices of fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed 

Marinade 

  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup soya sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp five spice powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper

HOW TO MAKE PEKING DUCK MARINADE

You will want to soya sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, pepper and a little water. 

WHAT IS PEKING DUCK

This is a dish that originates from China and has become a very popular dish across North America.

Almost every chinese restaurant will serve this, however you typically have to order it ahead of time, by making a reservation.

And that is because there is an age old century technique that comes to preparing it.

  • Such as blowing air under the skin and basting it in a golden syrup of hot water.
  • Once those steps have been done, it is placed into a oven and cooked to a crispy perfection.

But with my recipe, I have you simply marinating the duck overnight for 24 hours and cooking it on a rotisserie. 

So I call it a CHINESE DUCK recipe vs PEKING DUCK! But the flavors are the same!

USING YOUR ROTISSERIE DOES JUST AS AN AMAZING JOB!

WHAT DOES ROASTED DUCK TASTE LIKE

Duck meat is closer to red meat than chicken. It also has a thicker skin than chicken. When cooked right, it will be tender, moist and a bit fatty. 

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHINESE DUCK

Note: Don’t forget to keep the carcass/bones to make a homemade duck soup stock. 

Here is a recipe for an awesome soup Duck Pho Soup recipe that uses the carcass of this duck and one breast.

CAN YOU AIR FRY BBQ CHICKEN 

Heck yes, I do it all the time. Plus the cleanup is much easier than say doing it in the oven. 

IS AIR FRYER BBQ CHICKEN HEALTHY

Yes, in comparison to other methods of cooking chicken it is.

If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. They are more affordable now than ever. Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.

Some people think that an Air Fryer is mostly for people who eat a lot of fried food. I admit I once was apart of that group, however I soon realized that if you like to bake foods too.

Like I do, then the air fryer really cuts out a lot of the unnecessary fat.

Think of it, how do you typically bake chicken drumsticks or legs? If you are anything like me. You would place it on a pan in the oven and sometimes use a baking sheet to catch the grease.

However with the air fryer it elevates the food and allows all that (FAT) to drip away. 

WHAT IS AIR FRYING?

Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.  

Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods. 

Because air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil. And if your cooking something fatty, the fat will drip away and off the food.

So you can enjoy all the same deep – fried or baked foods that we have all come to know and love again but in a healthy way.

The air hot air is what cooks the food not the oil. If you have some frozen foods on hand, feel free to throw out any deep fryer you may have because the air fryer can now do the same job. 

But it is not only frozen food that can be cooked this way, pretty much any food you can think of can. 

CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER?

YES! 

I currently have and use the T-fal ActiFry Fryer

Also on occasion I will use my Gotham Steel Fryer as well. *Goes direct in the oven.

Both tools work well for this recipe!
